so far, what picks have been conveyed for Bridges and who are they ?
2025 NYK, 2025 MIL and a 2026 pick swap that didn't convey. 2 picks down, 3 to go (I think).
Mikal perfection of late - absolute perfect basketball.
- been our best defender hands down
- shooting ridiculous
- taking the right shot 95% of time
- getting us out on breaks
- movement off ball, cuts -- ELITE
- getting to the rack
- deflections
Playing like what we thought we were getting -- really ridiculous.

Kat getting some whistles and on that layup a great NON-WHISTLE - LOL and best part if nobody on broadcast bats an eye.
Also on the Kat in post play where he's got nothing but ends up taking/hitting 15-foot fadeaway.
His pivot foot moved about 5 or 6 times -- nobody says a word -- ridiculous league.

SO TRUE - Sham knocking down big 3s and defending like prime Pippen on the perimeter.

Get this cat to the finals before he's off the heater.
Mitch and Deuce and Jose kind of NO SHOWS again --- particularly Mitch/Deuce --- concerning?
I doubt this was meant to be a shot but the message itself is a shot at the methodology of Thibs.
If we get into the Final I never want to hear people trashing Bridges because of the picks we gave up to get him anymore. This being the 2nd playoffs in a row he stepped up and helped us get deeper than we would have without him I think he deserves that respect. He will have slumps during the regular season like he always does but he has earned our respect.
I know Kat being the playmaker got him a ton of credit this playoffs but his defensive improvement is just as important. Mitch can't play much so Kat not being a liability on D is extremely important since he is our last line of defense. Kat playing center was always his optimal position for us to take advantage of him spacing the floor
I can't lie. Enjoying this run with my daughter and watching these guys. The coach, the MSG post game wit Monica and the guys. I want Clyde and Breen calling one of these games together! This shit almost has me weepy eyed! It's a long way to go and it isn't going to get easier. I just really want this team to win it all because THEY deserve it. It's good vibes. Let the good times roll!

Going down memory lane reading this tweet and now being a fan of a WNBA team with a cheap owner and it reminds me of how lucky we are to have Dolan. McBride and Bridges told Dolan they wanted Thibs gone and he never cared about how much money he will waste if he fired Thibs after just extending him. All he wanted to do is give this team the best chance to win. All the media ever does is use Dolan as a boogy man but owner that are willing to spend money are so important.
Being a "fan" of the Fever that have been/are a poverty franchise because of Caitlin Clark showed me how bad it is to be a fan of a team with a cheap owners. The Fever don't even have international scouts. I hate that franchise with a passion and the second Caitlin leaves then I will never watch their games again.

The rules are unclear. If the Cavs win four straight, it’s okay for people to continue calling out Bridges when he has extended streaks of playing soft and being a non-factor?
WOW! Did not see such a commanding game 3 win coming. So happy for all you Knicksters, all you life long fans and those that got to Cleveland, Philadelphia and Atlanta, made noise and made the team feel at home. Not to mention all you fans at the Garden, it looks and sounds absolutely electric in that building at the moment. What I also LOVE, is nearly every interview, with any Knick, they put a call out to you fans at the games, what you're providing this is team real. Whether you're in the Garden, outside the Garden, anywhere in the country - keep it up!!!
What's also real, this team, so far, this play-off series (and we've seen it build over 3 or so years) has shown it's special. This could be the makings of something very very special. Preaching to the converted here no doubt - not just any team can win 10 games on the trot - in the playoffs.
JOB'S NOT DONE, GO KNICKS!!!

He gets an extended leash for sure, so does KAT, so does everybody.
